In this episode, I share a simple mental model, ARM, for thinking about crafting fulfilling work that has emerged over many conversations in the last eighteen months.
The ARM model is a mental model to help you intentionally craft a more fulfilling job and career.
I get really fired up about career-related topics, because I really care about seeing a world of people that are fully alive. And work is a huge factor in crafting a life that makes you feel fully alive. So getting this area of your life to be a source of energy, meaning, and positive emotion is one of the best things you can do for yourself.
This is the first time I’ve talked about this model, and I’m curious to hear feedback, suggestions, disagreements, etc. Feel free to let me know via email or on Twitter!
Update: I’ve now released a follow-up episode answering four questions about the model that have come up since this episode was released. Check it out here.
